Blake's POV
I sat in the office with a cup of coffee in my hand. I turned the chair to the glass window. I looked through the bright glass window into the distance. It was already past nine o'clock in the evening. Noah and Hedwig should have taken a bath and were ready to go to bed. They had school tomorrow. And Catherine must be sitting by their beds, telling bedtime stories with a storybook in her hands. Or perhaps she was humming lullabies. Noah and Hedwig were getting more independent after Catherine's identity was exposed. In the past, Hedwig always felt insecure and would ask Catherine to hold her to sleep every night. Yet now, Noah and Hedwig were used to sleeping on their own beds. I had to admit that kids grow up so fast. However, I felt distressed every time I saw them curling into balls in their beds. I never thought that I would become a father so soon. I didn't even think I'd find my mate. I thoughtBlake's POV "Fine. You got me. You are right. I was waiting for you. I was worried about you!" Catherine said loudly. Her face was already red. I reached out and pinched her cheek. Then I stuffed the file bag into her hand. Catherine was stunned for a second. Then she quickly grabbed the bag. I bent down, picked her up, and walked upstairs. Catherine stretched out her hands and put her arms around my neck. She pressed her cheek against my shoulder like a docile sheep. She had lost a lot of weight after the car accident, which made my heart ache. I could feel she loved me deeply. I was also content to see her, my mate, when I came back late at night. In the bedroom, I gently placed her on the bed and asked softly, "Have you taken a bath? Do you need my help?" Catherine blushed a little and shook her head. "I took a bath already. Go take a shower now." "OK. Just lie down." I gently tucked her in. Catherine hid und
Blake's POV After I arrived at the company, I had several important meetings to attend, and I immediately got busy. When I returned to the office after the first meeting, Dowen knocked on the door and came in. "King Blake, someone sent you a package." I frowned and asked coldly, "What is it?" "I don't know. It's not signed." Dowen looked puzzled. "Give it to me." I rarely get delivery or anything like that. Most of the things were sent to Dowen, who would pass them to me. Dowen placed the package on my desk, and I tore the wrappings. A few photos fell from the package to the desk. I picked them up at once to take a look. It was my father, Marc, and a woman in those photos. At the sight of the woman, my eyes widened in shock. It was the woman Patricia asked me to investigate a while ago. What was the relationship between Olivia and Marc? Patricia wouldn't ask me to investigate her for no reason. I g
Catherine's POV "Catherine?" Blake's voice was deep, and I could tell how tired he was. He didn't hide this languor in front of me, making me feel distressed. "Blake, we have a visitor at home. Patricia said he was Richard's son. Did you know he was coming?" I said bluntly. "Nick came to the villa?" Blake sounded surprised. It seemed that he had no idea. "Yes. He showed up out of nowhere. Was he up to something?" I didn't have any good impression of Richard and his family. So, I wanted to warn Blake about them. "I will be back early today. Don't worry. If he is on to something, I will find out!" Blake comforted me. "Alright then. Go back to your work. I'll leave you to it," I said gently. I raised my hand to look at the watch on my wrist. It was already four o'clock. I wanted to go pick up Noah and Hedwig together with Patricia. When I went downstairs, Patricia was on her way out. "Patricia, I'll go with you." I quickly stepped forward. Patricia turned around and
Catherine's POV "I know you didn't. I'm saying that you are not allowed to look at him ever. Remember?" Blake's lips moved from my cheeks to my lips. I felt a surge of joy enveloping me. I nodded. "I promise. Whatever happens, I won't even glance at him. I swear to the Moon Goddess!" My promise placed Blake in a better mood. Yet I was confused. Why would Blake be jealous of Nick? That didn't make sense. Nick and I had never met before. I didn't expect that Blake would be this willful. I couldn't help but chuckle. "What's so funny?" He gently turned my body to him. I immediately stopped chuckling and said seriously, "Nothing. I just don't think you need to be jealous of Nick." "It's men's stuff. You won't get it. You are mine. I hate it when other men look at you. They are not allowed to look at you, not even a glimpse." Blake kissed me vigorously as if claiming that I only belonged to him. I was a bit speechless. Did Blake have to be this overbearing? However, I did
Catherine's POV Soon, it was early in the morning. Blake would always wake up before seven o'clock. He got up, leaving nothing but an empty space beside me. I muttered dissatisfied. He leaned over and kissed me, and then I went back to sleep. He had the habit of doing morning exercises. I didn't wake up until he came back. I asked him to wake up Noah and Hedwig, and then I slipped into the bathroom. Noah and Hedwig had grown up a bit, and they no longer acted willfully when getting up. Unlike before, now they wouldn't glue themselves to bed and try to lie in a bit longer. Therefore, I trusted Blake with getting them out of bed. By the time I came to the children's room, Blake had already helped them put on their clothes. He was combing Hedwig's hair and tying her hair into a ponytail. Indeed, he had changed a lot. Noah, on the other hand, did not need any help from Blake. Noah dabbed his hands in water and made himself a hairstyle that was identical to Blake's. Loo
Catherine's POV We went to Noah and Hedwig's classroom, and I saw that Noah and Hedwig were both playing games with their friends. "Mommy! Abigail! You are here!" Hedwig saw us and ran over happily. Abigail looked at Hedwig happily. "Hedwig, I'm here to see you." Hedwig grabbed Abigail's hand. "Abigail, this is the first time you've picked me up from school." Abigail's eyes turned red when she heard Hedwig's words. I sighed emotionally. Hedwig seemed naturally close to Abigail. "Abigail, what's wrong? Are you crying?" Hedwig asked with concern. "No. I'm just happy. I'm overjoyed. You and Noah have become this big. I want to be there and witness your change every day from now on. Do you like me?" Abigail said gently. "Of course, I do. I would be so happy if you could pick me up every day. By the way, will you bring some snacks too?" Hedwig felt her stomach. "Hedwig, are you hungry?" Abigail immediately asked.
Catherine's POV "Cathy, did you go to the hospital for a check-up? What did the result say?" The gauze wrapping my head had been taken off. Patricia immediately asked me with concern. "Thanks for asking, Patricia. The doctor said my wound was healing well," I replied softly. "That's good. I'm so relieved to hear that," Patricia said happily. Meanwhile, Nick drove back. He parked the car at the door and entered the parlor. "Catherine, have you just come back as well?" Nick asked with a smile. "Yes," I said expressionlessly. Then I said to Patricia, "Patricia, I'll go upstairs and take a shower. I'll leave Noah and Hedwig with you here." "Alright." Patricia nodded. I turned and went upstairs. Nick shook off the snow on his shoulder and said, "It's snowing again. It's freezing! Patricia, I'm going upstairs to put on another coat." Patricia said, "Why didn't you put on enough clothes? You knew it was cold outside. W
Catherine's POV My heart ached for Blake. I could only hold him tight and be there for him. I thought Blake would tell me more about Marc and the woman in the photos after his grief. To my surprise, I heard Blake's steady breathing coming from my arms. I looked down only to see that he had fallen asleep. He was indeed tired. I kissed him on the forehead and then turned off the light. I turned in as well. That night, I fell asleep with Blake in my arms. In recent days, the pack had been in a bit of a flap, as Blake had personally sent the werewolves who had been by his side for five years to the werewolf court. Almost all the werewolves were keeping an eye on the matter, and Blake was waiting for the result. He would keep me updated on how things were going every night, so I wouldn't worry. The werewolves who leaked classified documents of the pack expressed their strong dissatisfaction in court, insisting that they did not leak any
